For many African speakers, reclaiming one's language isn’t only tied to newly-launched books and dictionaries, but to other media. As noted by the writer, translator, and translation studies scholar Wangui wa Goro, the growing content available in those languages on the internet has the shape of songs, comics, and videos. As she puts it, ordinary people incorporate technical elements into their day-to-day lives and produce content as a result. They might record homemade videos on their...

Theresa Sainty, a Pakana woman, Indigenous scholar at the University of Tasmania, and long-time linguistic worker has dedicated her efforts to the project. As a result, the language is now present in multiple resources created by and for aboriginal persons, from a full database and dictionary to a...

For an internet user in Western Nepal who speaks kusunda, or santali speaker who has just browsed through a few Wikipedia articles, how does the internet look like? For speakers of numerous indigenous languages, being able to get online from their cellphones isn’t enough. Sometimes, their writing system might not be compatible with a standard deemed “universal”; sometimes, they simply won’t find relevant content to read through and interact with.

Over 400 million people speak Arabic worldwide as their native or non-native language. Yet it remains underrepresented in the knowledge available on the internet and its digitalized archives. The problem is at the core of the projects developed by Majd Al-Shihabi, a Palestinian-Syrian-Canadian technologist, urban planner, and free culture advocate. He has worked on initiatives like the Palestine Open Maps, as part of Visualizing Palestine, and MASRAD, a platform for archiving oral history. ...

Over the past years, more lively discussions championed by African feminists have moved online to platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. “The internet has been a space where African feminism in new generations is flourishing,” notes Jessica Horn, an African feminist activist, and writer with roots in Uganda. Most of the discussions she has witnessed and joined, however, have had to take place in colonial languages that are predominant, like English and French, in an internet...

This year’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF) took place in Ethiopia. Since 2020, the Ethiopian government has engineered the longest continuous internet shutdown in the world, keeping Tigrayans isolated in the middle of a war that has cost their livelihood and lives. It is ironic — and an act of complicity — that a major global forum on internet access and policies chooses Ethiopia as a venue, after years of violence and repression against Tigrayans, including blockages to humanitarian...

As a queer person with visual disability, born and brought up in Kolkata, I have noted that discussions (in the forms of video, article, blog, etc.) on the intersections of marginalities in Bengali are extremely scarce and inadequate on the internet.
